Prof. Jia-Lin Wu's research team from Taipei Medical University, Taiwan, has developed an advanced biodegradable tissue ...

It’s hard to get glue to work underwater – unless you’re a mussel. Scientists have now created a new adhesive that combines the stickiness of mussel’s natural glue with the slimy ...

“The hydrogels adhere to tissue surfaces and discourage bacterial biofilm formation,” the researchers said in the study, “raising the possibility of developing biocompatible surgical ...

DDA, a biodegradable and biocompatible adhesive that offers a safer, stronger, and more sustainable solution for torn ...

Surgical adhesions—common, sometimes life-threatening complications that arise after open or laparoscopic abdominal ...

In the context of surgical procedures, ACD can be triggered by various materials used in wound closure, such as adhesives, sutures, and antiseptics. Recent research has increasingly focused on the ...

As laparoscopic surgery is becoming more common in emergency surgery, adhesive SBO is the obvious next target for a laparoscopic approach. [1] Although there are several retrospective series ...

A tough adhesive applied onto a pig heart to show superior adhesion and stretchability performance. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the July 28, issue of Science, published by AAAS.

“The hydrogels adhere to tissue surfaces and discourage bacterial biofilm formation,” the researchers said in the study, “raising the possibility of developing biocompatible surgical adhesives and ...
